How is this for a scrumptious bite? One of autumn's perks is that you can eat
warm, gooey cheese with no guilt whatsoever! So the other day I took the Italian simplicity to a 2.0 level after one of our friends treated us to homemade mozzarella.
Oh boy, that totally reminded me of our last trip to Venice and those mornings of eating grilled caprese
sandwiches in the little café right next to the canal. It was dreamy and cozy! Anyway,
this take on caprese is a perfect colder weather meal.

The trick we learned from an Italian café owner was how to assemble
the sandwich so the bites are enjoyable and not a struggle. As you know
prosciutto is hard to bite so before you place it on your sandwich always
tear each slice into small pieces and in a way roll them onto the sandwich. It
will create mini bites of the ham instead of you swallowing a huge slice at
once. If you had prosciutto ever before I bet you know what I mean.

* Pesto
Halve your Ciabatta. On one half, spread generously pesto and layer it with pre-sliced
mozzarella and tomatoes. Finish it off with a bit of salt and pepper on top. Next,
on the other half place a few leaves of basil and top them off with prosciutto. Combine
both halves and place the sandwich in the preheated pan for about 2 minutes on each side
while pressing it with a spatula in the meantime so the cheese melts and the bread gets
all gold-brown and crisp from outside. Ta dah!

Lovelies, would you try this recipe? What's your all time favourite sandwich? Do tell! xo
